I’m currently a Communications Officer at a company specializing in educational services. I’ve worked here for 2 years, and I’m mainly responsible for creating content to promote the company’s brand and services.

Honestly, I’m quite a sociable person who always has a passion for going out and communicating with people. This personality in addition to my pretty good command of English makes me think that I was born for this career. The greatest part is that I could educate children and expose them to English and foreign culture so that they are trained to be well-rounded future citizens, this absolutely brings me a sense of achievement.

The reason why I chose to be working in this field is that this profession is thriving in my country and being good at it can help me earn a lot of cash to sustain a good life. In fact, if you're among the top in marketing you can earn up to $6000 a month which is nearly 6 times higher than other professions.

Question: Describe an ideal job you’d like to do in the future
You should say:
- What it is.
- How you can get this job.
- What kinds of work you would do for the job.
- And explain why you want to have it.
I’m an independent person so it is my ultimate goal to have my own business. I’m thinking of opening my own vegetarian restaurant. The reason is that I love vegetarian food. I think this diet is healthy and more humane and I want to promote this kind of lifestyle to more people.
I know that being a restaurateur is no easy task. There is a lot of planning and there’re hundreds of details that need to be taken care of before a restaurant is fully prepared to service people. For instance, we have the legal paperwork, hiring the kitchen staff and waitstaff, renting, decorating, marketing and so on. Even after you get your restaurant going, there’re still daily tasks for you to solve. These are things that I both love and fear. I enjoy the constant challenges but I’m afraid of being overwhelmed.
I’m fully aware that I still have a long way to go. In terms of education, I’m in the process of getting my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Restaurant Management. After graduation, I plan to work for prestigious restaurants in my hometown to learn about how a restaurant is operated, earn some cash, and do some networking. In my free time, I visit the local markets to research and explore the range of fresh local vegetables, non-meat products and I also experiment with different recipes.
Eventually, I’d like to open my dream restaurant in my hometown, Ho Chi Minh city, to serve the community that I grew up in.

PART 3
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- What do most people consider when finding/accepting a job?
From my experience talking to my friends, salary and bosses are what people think of when they try to decide on a job offer. Obviously, everyone wants to earn the amount of money that is proportional to their contribution to the company. However, there are cases in which people choose to work for a lower wage if they have supportive bosses, especially for people who are seeking entry-level jobs. Having a superior to serve as your mentor can help you progress in your career more quickly.
- Which do you think is more important, colleagues or work itself?
I think both are equally important. If you get along really well with the people you work with but don’t exactly enjoy your responsibilities, it’s going to be really hard to stay in your job for a long time. And if you are doing your dream job, but you can’t take your co-workers, it’s also going to be very stressful.
- What are the most difficult jobs that people do?
What are the most difficult jobs that people do?I remember seeing a documentary about oil rig workers that claimed to be if not the hardest job on the world, one of the hardest. It’s a job that is not only physically demanding but also psychologically taxing. These people spend 6 weeks in an environment where it doesn’t matter if you are a cleaner or a pipe worker, you have a very similar level of risk around you at all times. It’s an insane job that brings a high reward when it comes to salary, but I can’t even fathom doing that myself. I would probably crack under pressure on day one.
- Why do you think some people choose to do difficult jobs?
- Do you agree or disagree that all jobs are difficult sometimes?
- How important is it for everyone to have a goal in their personal life?

Mẫu câu trả lời:
Question: Describe A Healthy Lifestyle You Know
You should say:
- What was it
- What was the reason for this change
- Was it a positive or negative change for you
When it comes to any healthy lifestyle, I believe that food is the source of all diseases and pain in human life. Therefore, in my mind, consuming less meat and more vegetables is a proper way to improve our well-being.
It was 2 years ago when I was browsing through some sites about health to see if some of my symptoms were serious or not, I came across a life-changing article on the official website of the Ministry of medicine. At that time, I was having a little pain and irritation at my bowels, which was a nightmare for me. Miraculously, that article explained to me the culprit behind my suffering which was the fact that I had been eating too much meat and too little fiber in my diet. From that moment on, I decided to adopt a new lifestyle of choosing more fruits and vegetables for my meals.
Truth be told, it was tough at first, since I had been used to digesting a whole bunch of meat every day, so my body was craving protein and the flavor of grilled chicken or beef. Of course, I didn’t give up so easily. I know this idiom is not suitable for this situation, but to some extent, it is actually “out of sight, out of mind”. What I mean is that I tried to avoid seeing dishes containing meat, so I could put my craving under control. Gradually, I got a hang of it and started eating more green vegetables, which really helped me reduce all the symptoms of my bowel diseases. I am still applying this kind of diet to date, and it was lucky that I had known about this before bad things could have ever happened.

- Cụm từ:
- The Ministry of medicine: Bộ Y Tế
- Out of sight, out of mind: xa mặt cách lòng
- Bowel disease: bệnh đường ruột

PART 3
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- What could be done to promote a healthy lifestyle?
I think there are several feasible methods that could be adopted to lead a healthy life. The government should implement strict rules on products or activities that affect people’s health, for example, smoking in public places. Another possible method is that more programs about healthy eating or taking up a sport should be produced and disseminated on social media such as TV or Facebook so that people can be more aware of the importance of healthy.
- Should children be encouraged to learn art?
Well I suppose that studying art is an excellent way to help children promote their creativity. Literally, children observe and perceive the world around them in a different way. Each child’s opinion is unique and we can see this most clearly if we ask them to draw a certain thing. Maybe their innate talents will soon reveal and if we encourage them to think outside the box, they can have further development.
- Do you think people pay enough attention to their health today?
No, I don’t think so. Nowadays, most people are leading a sedentary lifestyle where they don’t have enough time to look after themselves. They don’t pay attention to their diet and hard work out. But there are a few self-conscious people who are aware of their health and prefer eating a healthy diet and doing some physical activities in their life to ensure they’re healthy.
- What costs are involved when you are ill in your country?
- Do you think most people worry more about their health as they get older?
- What are the most popular ways of keeping healthy in your country?
